Flatt showered the orchestra with cues, turned up the heat on brass, refused to let long string lines falter, and steered everyone in the right musical direction. This music became symphonic drama. And a fine sense of drama it was: tension withheld, tension applied aplenty, tonal beauty, angry rhythms, kitchen sink at the end.

The thunderous applause that greeted the performance by Flatt and the Symphony could surely be heard well outside the walls of the theater. The orchestra rose beyond the challenge, playing with such taut purpose and emotional involvement that the near-capacity audience was drawn to its feet in rapturous ovation repeatedly over the course of the afternoon.
